Gonna shill for these guys
I’m on 20+ years with this same pack, indestructible for civilian use

They have a sale on these occasionally , think i got mine for $99 on sale back then. They’ve went up , but still a deal

Made in USA and they fix any issues no questions asked

My son deployed with one of their load out bags I bought him, blowed out one zipper- still functional , but they will fix it when he gets back I’m sure

Yeah, everything made by London Bridge Trading is well done, a real cut above. Once you see their products in person, you'll understand.

Yes, I have several packs. Always get them on sale because I can't afford their normal prices. Even on sale, they are expensive but I support American when I can.

They have their (US and import) line as well (lbxtactical). Good quality, good warranty, different products.

I went Kifaru, same deal with the warranty. Pricy but quality stuff is worth every penny.

I'm using the same LBT backback as ElKabong. Really went up in price. Eek
Wheeled Load out bag I also purchased at an incredible price--now $600.
They don't make their duffle/backpack bag anymore. Enormous duffle that holds a lot--has built in backpack straps.
Wow-great deal when they had military overstock!

I’m a Kifaru guy. All their gear is top-hole.

I have a couple of Dana Designs packs from the 1980s and they've been up many mountains and around the world. They'll outlive me.

LBT stuff is very well make and respected by those that use it.

I've had that same pack, minus the molle on the front, for years. It's been on many flights and thrown in and out of vehicles. Looks as good as the day I got it minus a little dirt.

I support spending good money for good quality, but anyone who spends $500 on a daypack needs to have their head examined. They clearly have more money than sense.

Just my opinion...I could be wrong.

LBT definitely makes great gear. Another great American company that makes quality bags is Red Oxx out of Billings Montana. The company was started by father to son former parachute riggers that took their sewing skills to travel bags. I’ve got a couple and have been traveling with their Airboss carryon for 15 years and it still looks brand new. Overbuilt and lifetime warranties. Good stuff.

I own some shoes and boots from GoRuck.

Great products. No experience with their rucksacks, but it’s their nom de guerre.

Veteran owned. Not inexpensive. Some products made entirely in USA.

If I remember correctly, I got the load out bag and 3 day pack as a combo, for under $200 on a 4th of July or Labor Day sale all those years ago. I bought a 2nd pack for my son at $99 a few years later

I have that 30L 3 Day LBT pack in Black Multicam.
It is a fantastic pack and I like it very much there is only one problem.
It absolutely screams HEY LOOK AT ME I HAVE AT LEAST ONE GUN!!!!

Partially my fault with the Black Multicam but even in the solid color the molle only screams a little less.

When the slick model goes on sale I am going to get the Desert Sand model. It does not really scream gun.

My only gripe with LBT as a whole is their “pricing” structure.
Their normal price is ridiculously expensive but if you sign up for their emails. Whatever you are looking for will be on sale for at least 50% sometime within 6 months of signing up for the emails.

I don’t think any of their footwear is made in the States and only some of their packs are made in the States.

Get on the sale mailing list as they have real discounts, not just 10-20% off, more like 1/2 price.

For an 'assault pack' format, I'm partial to Mystery Ranch's 3-day pack; better suspension and an overall design that I'm more familiar with and like. Not saying London Bridge is any worse, they're just different companies solving problems from different directions. LBTC is one of the old guard of tactical nylon brands prior to GWOT, they've not strayed far from their roots, still putting out quality kit; that MAS Grey color way is the HEAT!!!

Fair enough. Shoes aren’t I know. Vietnam I think. The designer is former Reebok guy.

Their primary lines of packs … GR1, GR2 and GR3 are made in USA…clearly stated on their website.

I’ll edit previous post

I use Mystery Ranch backpacks, both for backpacking or dayhikes, and EDC.

They are a bit heavier than some competitors, but they are rugged, well-designed and well-built.
